Catching Currents by Kari August

Sagas come in different forms. This one had its own meandering and scenic route(literally and figuratively). I must say that the author's note at the end is a must-read because it elevates the content to a different level. We begin at the late teens of our protagonists. We have multiple main characters to focus on…

The Case of the Vanishing Blonde: And Other True Crime Stories by Mark Bowden

This was a short collection of articles the author wrote in various magazines. I have not read many true-crime books, but this was easier to read than some of the others I have picked up. There are six stories of real cases which range across the decades. I wish the first story was not the…

Community of Magic Pens by E.D.E. Bell

On the heels of my previous read (which was a collection of four novellas), I am reviewing an anthology which(also) has a common theme. The idea is to write a story featuring a magical pen, and a LOT of authors have contributed to this work. I have encountered one or two in earlier anthologies. It…

The Deadly Hours by Susanna Kearsley,C.S. Harris,Anna Lee Huber, Christine Trent

I have read novellas before (a few), and since it had been a while since my last historical fiction binge, I picked this one up. It is a collection of four novellas, written by authors whose work I have not had the fortune to read earlier. This last part is something I will remedy when…

Scythe (Arc of a Scythe #1) by Neal Shusterman

I have been lax in reading which has led to a lull here ( for once it was not just laziness). With the week beginning, I am trying to set my routine in earnest including the often neglected task of picking up after myself immediately. This should lead to more reviews and hopefully a new…

The Case of the Counterfeit Eye (Perry Mason #6) by Erle Stanley Gardner

If you are interested in following my recent foray into listening to Perry Mason books and seeing how I am enjoying them you can check out my older reviews: Narrated by Alexander Cendese The series continues to be fun and snappy. Even with my usual listening speed, it seems to take a very short time…

The Sun Sister (The Seven Sisters #6) by Lucinda Riley

I have read and reviewed the previous books of the series on my blog in the post Seven Sisters- #2 #3 #4 #5 by Lucinda Riley Although I liked this book, it did not rank better than the ones I liked previously but I did like it better than Cece's story. This is my first book…

Once Upon a Time I Lived on Mars: Space, Exploration, and Life on Earth by Kate Greene

I was intrigued by the topic around which the book revolves. It is about a scientific study which involved people mimicking the life they would lead if they were stationed on Mars. Recently, I have come across many videos of this concept in the media and thought this would increase the information I have about…
